Podcast

The Townies Podcast is like The Moth meets Prairie Home Companion... if Lake Woebegone were real. "The Townies" features the stories of the wonderful people from our tiny fishbowl of a town, told in front of a live audience of wonderful people also from this tiny fishbowl of a town.

With particular emphasis on the stories of diverse and marginalized communities, The Townies, Inc. seeks to employ storytelling as a means to inspire conversation rooted in equity, empathy and social justice.
